So You Want to Know About London's Weather, Eh? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Ah, London weather. A topic as unpredictable as a rogue pigeon trying to steal your pasty. One minute it's shrouded in a thick fog that makes you question reality, the next it's surprising you with a burst of sunshine that warms your face for all of five minutes.
Today, well, let's just say it's in a bit of a moody phase. It's currently 16°C and cloudy, which basically means you never know if you should grab your brolly (that's British for umbrella, for those unfamiliar) or your sunglasses.
The forecast for the rest of the day? Rain. Not a torrential downpour, mind you, but more of a persistent drizzle that'll leave you feeling like you just stepped out of a light mist shower in a rainforest. But hey, at least the rain keeps the dust down, right?
Looking ahead:
- Tomorrow: Scattered showers are on the menu, with a high of 17°C and a low of 10°C. Basically, more of the same, but maybe a touch cooler.
- UV Index: Don't worry about frying under the sun's rays. Today's UV index is a measly 0, so you can ditch the sunscreen (unless you're planning a rooftop picnic and hoping for a miracle).
So, what should you wear?
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Here's your handy guide:
- Layers are your friend. A light jacket or sweater over a t-shirt will allow you to adjust as the weather inevitably changes.
- Waterproof shoes are a must. Puddles are practically a part of the London landscape.
- Don't forget the trusty brolly! You never know when a rogue cloud will burst a tear (or ten).
But wait, there's more!
Here are some fun facts about London's weather that you might not know:
- The average rainfall in London is around 63cm a year. That's about the height of a two-year-old!
- The wettest month is usually October, so you might want to pack an extra raincoat if you're visiting then.
- Despite the rain, London actually gets a decent amount of sunshine – around 1,541 hours per year. You just have to squint a bit to find it sometimes.
